HE Goodrich Transportation Co. has
taken its boats off the Ludington and
Manistee route. The Depere will run
from Chicago along the west shore to
points on the lower end of Green Bay.
The through business from Chicago to
these points could not be done by the
Corona so great has been the increase in
her local trade this year. The Ludington
will run between Grand Haven and Chi
cago. Lake business, this season, is a
reminder Of old times when a vessel
would almost pay for itself the first sea-
son.

TIE schooners S. r. Watson and SEN

The schooners S. r. Watson and Sen
ator are both sunk near the mouth of the
500 River in Michigan. They were being
tOwed by tug, when the line of the Wat
son parted, and she went broadside on
the rocks. The Senator crushed into her
almost cutting her in two and both yes
sells sank. There was a strong wind
blowing and heavy sea at the time.

SHERIFF BOLEN lately recovered one of
the horses stolen last winter from Mr..
Rahbein of Kossuth. The horse was
found with farmer living few miles
from Peshtigo. He had purchased the
horse from another party, and purchased
him second time from the owner. Mr..
Bolen is very reticent on the subject as
he does not wish to have his plans for
the capture of the thief known. 1t would
seem that gang of horse thieves live in
that section and they have been operating
in several localities.

close out their large stock of
Cook and Heating Stoves, and
Gasoline and Oil Stoves at Ac-
TUAL COST, to make room for a
new supply of the justly cele-
brated GARLAND STOVES which
will be handled by them ex-
clusively in the future. These
stoves are from frst-class, stand
ard manufacturers and are good
ones. When we advertise them
at actual cost we mean just that
and nothing more, as an exam
ination of prices will prove to
you. Please call and be con-
vinced that this is the oppor-
tunity of a lifetime to buy first
class stoves at remarkably low
prices.

SCHOOL MEETINGS

The notice gwen last week through
these columns that annual school dis
trlct meetings should be called on the
first Monday in July, Notwithstanding
1t Is this year a legal holiday, was an
error. The state Legislature passed law
making the Tuesday next succeeding the
first Monday when it is a legal holiday,
the day on which such school meetings
shall be held. Meetings this year must
be called for Tuesday July 5.

Mrs. Flynn, who lately received some
injuries because of defective sidewalks,
has made demand of $1,000 damages.
1t is strange there are not greater num-
Der of accidents. Some sidewalks IN this
city are regular chevaux-de-frise. In MD
day one must walk around them IN order
to keep his shins intact. Ii a person
could only muster up determination TO
become insensible to pain for brief sea-
son. he could march down Sixth street
with what the lawyers call ordinary
caution" and when he reached Tom
Iindiate's he would have material for
about fifty damage suits. In fact he
could charge the city for the loss of a pair
of legs.
Why doesn't the city council take a
spasm of improvement fever and have
little repairing done? If nothing more,
turn the boys loose on the old pit falls
and let us have terra trina on which to
walk. Ladies find it particularly difficult
to balance themselves on the movable
planks which constitute our sidewalks.
Indeed they are an abominatiOn and
snare to every one except the small boy
and the expert river driver. If bruised
shins were entitled TO damages there is
enough of that article on the north side
to bankrupt the city. Give us a few
sidewalks so that a person can walk with
out the appearance of having the string
halt,

In 1854 Mr.. Mann of Two Rivers IN
company with Mr. Felix Walsh of the same
place, visited Clarks Mills for the pur-
pose of looking over the paint mine there.
The Two Rivers Manufacturing Co. uses
a large quantity of ocher and Mr.. Mann
naturally wished to have means of pro-
curing it near at hand. In order to pro-
perly test the mine he proposed to the
owner of the land to purchase a controll-
ing interest. But Nailon thought he
had fortune and did not wish to lose
control of it and so declined Mr.. Mann's
offer. 1t was an unfortunate determine
ton as Mr.. Mann had the means to de-
termine just what was in the mine and
to develop it if the quantity and quality
of the ocher found there would warrant
the step. Some of the Ocher which he
took from there as specimens was tested
in the paint shops of the company at
Two Rivers and pronounced a superior
article. Clarks Mills might have very
important industry now had Mr.. Nailon
closed with Mr.. Mann's offer three years
ago

MARSHAL WIEBOLDT is entitled to
credit for his efforts to secure good side
walks. 1t is singular fact that people
who are well-to-do may have the shah
best kind of sidewalks and provoke no
comment except the muttered oath of the
person who stubs his toe. They are the
very persons who should be compelled to
build if their own sense of what is proper
does not suggest that course to them
Sustain the marshal III enforcing the city
ordinance. We have enough of these old
money-bags who growl because the city
VIII now grow and who have not public
spirit enough to build passable side
walk Let the marshal pitch into them
and The Pilot, for one, will back him.

IT VIII be remembered that some years
ago couple of young fellows enacted
| some wild west scenes at st. Nazians.
! The people of the staid village turned
out en- masse with such weapons as the
town afforded and captured the young
| fellows after hard fight. One of them,
! Ole Larson, made his escape and did not
revisit that portion of the country until
quite recently. On Sunday last he was
| again IN St. Nazians and was very severe
ly whipped. He came to the city on
| Tuesday and instituted proceedings
| against his assailant. Larson found it
necessary to have cuts in his face stitched
10y physician. 1t is said he first drew a
knife on the party who whipped him.

submitted to the people on Tuesday,

from any company to be voted on, but
simply whether the people favor the es-

the city council will afterward make a
contract, if terms which commend them
selves as favorable can be secured.

day last and thereby hangs a tale The
opening day at Gerpheide's is Away day

tradition without break. This fact was
known to number of farmers and they
made up a purse for Gerpheide on condi-
ton that he would open his garden earlier
than usual and thus attract the attention
of Jupiter Pluvius, Gerpheide did so
and the rain came.

DECORATION DAY opened with threat
ening aspect, cold fog drifting in from
the lake with frequent indications of APP
preaching rain. The old soldiers gather
ed from all parts of the county in their
usual numbers. The programme, as pub
Hshed, was carried out in all its details.
The procession was quite a lengthy one
the order of precedence on former Occa-
sions being observed in this. When the
cemetery was reached Mayor Torrison
delivered a brief but well considered adj
dress; a prayer was offered by Rev. Las
erson after which Mr.. Nash delivered the
address. It was largely historical, judi
cial in its tone and argumentative in its
matter. 1t was an unusually able adj
dress, noticeable as much for its strength
and thought as for its elegance of diction,
Mr.. Roehl delivered an address in Ger
man which was quite favorably received
by those who understood him. After
the usual formal ceremonies commemora-
tive of the dead, the procession returned,
and disbanded at G. A. r. post head
quarters.

MAYOR TORRIsoN and Herbert Mark
ham had secured subscriptions sufficient
to purchase the lot owned by Henry Bur
ger which was needed by the coal dock
company. Some misunderstanding rela-

contamination of the bargain, and Mr..
Burger generously resolved to lease the
lot gratis for 20 years to the Coal Com

now be needed for the purpose intended,

money refunded by calling upon Mr..
